I’m a native Texan, and I can deign to go to Austin for a couple days even though I live in a much bigger city in Texas which has delicious food from far more countries than Austin does. Plenty of Texans, and plenty of room for people from everywhere.
The trends in NYC are kinda pro-meat but if you're a day-to-day vegetarian or looking for it, there's plenty. I can definitely see showing up at a NY restaurant and everything on the menu having beef tallow in it somehow.
If anyone needs a test case, I consider myself a reasonably intelligent human who is absolutely too stupid to use modern technology and would be glad to proclaim that to a court. (executive function, working memory issues. latency is a killer for me.)
Baseball lent itself to advanced analytics even before player tracking became a thing, since the sport consists of a series of discrete one-on-one matchups with limited possible outcomes.
If you were on the early internet talking to someone about music or woodworking or whatever, you could reasonably assume they were a tech person because it was not simple to get online. It took a minute for it to spread.
